There are only 23=823=8 possible ways to arrange the genders boy/girl, with repetition. Since the probability of boy and girl are equal, the probability of each of these arrangements are also equal. We can therefore count the number of possible "good" answers, and divide by 8.

There are 3 possible ways to have 1 boy, that being "first/second/third child is boy", so the probability of exactly 1 boy is indeed 3838.

Having at most 2 girls is the opposite of having three girls, so since there are only one way of having three girls, there must be 8−1=78−1=7 ways of having at most two girls, so the probability of at most two girls is indeed 78

What is a polynomial function in standard form with zeroes 1, 2, -2. and -3
Juli2301 [7.4K]
<span>A polynomial with the given zeros can be represented as
   f(x) = (x-1)(x-2)(x+2)(x+3).
   Note that if you set f(x) = 0, then 1,2,-2, and -3 certainly are the solutions. From here, we simply multiply/expand out the polynomial. We can do this in a variety of ways, one of which is taking the left two and right two products separately. We have
   (x-1)(x-2) = x^2 - 3x + 2
   and
   (x+2)(x+3) = x^2 + 5x + 6.
   This gives that
   f(x) = (x^2 - 3x + 2) (x^2 + 5x + 6).
   Expanding this expression out then gives us our answer as
    f(x) = x^4 + 2x^3 - 7x^2 - 8x + 12
   or answer choice B.</span>

Please help me!! I am struggling... I will not accept nonsense answers!
telo118 [61]

Answer:

y = 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

The inscribed angle CHF is half the measure of its intercepted arc CDF

The 3 arcs in the circle = 360°, thus

arc CDF = 360° - 160° - 60° = 140°, so

∠ CHF = 0.5 × 140° = 70°

∠ CHF and ∠ y are adjacent angles and supplementary, thus

y = 180° - 70° = 110°
